Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by LitHub and BookPage
A February 2024 IndieNext Pick
A February 2024 LibraryReads pick "Witty and suspenseful."
-Alida Becker, The New York Times Book Review "Like all the best
supernatural stories, The Fox Wife reveals something profound about
humanity: the ease with which we get drawn into chasing what we
think we want, rather than what will actually nourish us. And the
cruelty with which the powerful treat those under their power."
-Charlie Jane Anders, The Washington Post "Utterly captivating . .
. . So lively and sharp-edged, it unfolds almost like an animated
cartoon in your head."
-Marion Winik, Oprah Daily "A delicate and suspenseful detective
tale, it's perfect to savor on a wintry weekend."
--Bethanne Patrick, The Los Angeles Times "[An] enchanting tale of
murder, revenge, and the power of a mother's love."
--Time "Part love story, part adventure, and part mystery, The Fox
Wife is an enjoyable excursion into the beliefs and life in the
China of 120 years ago."
--Michael Sears, The New York Journal of Books "Equal parts
detective story, folktale, and family saga, the highly anticipated
latest novel by Choo (The Night Tiger, 2019) will appeal to fans of
diverse, imaginative literary fiction, historical mysteries like
Nilima Rao's A Disappearance in Fiji (2023), and fantasy like
Marlon James' Dark Star trilogy."
--Booklist (starred review) "Choo's writing is lush and the slow
revelation of complicated relationships and reunions hum with
tension. This is a treat."
--Publishers Weekly "The voices are compelling; the secrets are
rich. . . . Layers of meaning accrue, bringing together the past
and the present, mythology and personal ambition, actions and
reactions, control and fate, into a fascinating tale of foxes, foes
and friends."
--BookPage "An intriguing vulpine mystery worth the suspension of
disbelief...The rich Asian tradition of fox folklore provides the
backdrop for Choo's complex and atmospheric tale of identity and
discovery set in early 1900s Manchuria."
--Kirkus Reviews "Magical, wonderous, transporting and
illuminating, The Fox Wife reminds me that reading can be pure joy
. . . I was captivated from the very first word of this novel until
its very last. Yangsze Choo is a writer of immense talent."
--Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai, internationally best-selling author of The
Mountains Sing and Dust Child "A stunning story filled with wonder,
mystery and folklore. I was utterly captivated by Yangsze Choo's
exquisite prose and fascinating characters from the first page till
the last. A remarkable tale, one that will stay with me."
--Sue Lynn Tan, author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess "Like the
foxes who populate its pages, The Fox Wife is vivid, enigmatic, and
enchanting. Choo's fresh new fable conjures a world where danger
and intrigue are forever entwined with sublime and sensory
delights."
--M.L. Rio, author of If We Were Villains "The Fox Wife is a rich
tangle of myth, mystery, and history, delivered with Choo's
inimitable grace and precision. It's not a book so much as a
beguilement; it enchanted me entirely."
--Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling
House "Masterfully plotted and superbly surprising, The Fox Wife
will entice you into a world of magic and heartbreak, a beautiful
tapestry woven from love and revenge and forgiveness. Beware: once
you start, you may not be able to put it down!"
--Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, author of Independence and The Last
Queen "Choo weaves yet another enthralling tale and, this time,
it's a glimpse of the immortal lives of foxes. Her prose is lush as
ever and Snow is a captivating lens of emotions and magic."
--Roselle Lim, author of Sophie Go's Lonely Hearts Club
